Thailand: Page from an illustrated manuscript of a prommachat or divination manual, late 18th to mid-19th century

Pages from a Siamese fortune telling manual based on a 12 animal zodiac.

Thai Zodiac Signs are closely related to the Chinese Zodiac as both follow the same 12 year lunar cycle. In Thai zodiac signs the dragon is replaced by a naga snake and in Northern Thailand an elephant may be used in place of the Chinese sign for the pig.
